There seems to be a glut at the top of the Comic movies as of late, and it seems we’re on a crash course with another one? Why does this matter to me you ask? There is more money to be made, and production companies want their fingers in as much as they can. There has been talks of a Wonder Woman movie, Aquaman TV show, and everyone knows The Green Lantern.

What better way to cram all that down our throats but a Justice Leauge of America movie. They want to start production in 2008. 3 Months after Dark Knight finishes and right before Man Of Steel starts. Which brings havok on the existing superhero franchises. The boys and girls over at IESB gave us this little tidbit:

“When the news broke that JLA (Justice League of America) was moving forward with a script written by Kiernan and Michele Mulroney, speculations began that the follow-up to Superman Returns, The Man of Steel, would be delayed or even completely scrapped.

WB studio sources quickly said that was just mere speculation and The Man of Steel was still planned for a first quarter 2008 start date. Even recently, Brandon Routh told us the same thing during a quick red carpet interview at the premiere for Transformers.”

What does this mean to you. Routh and Bale each only have 3 movie contracts, and one of those three can be an ensemble movie. Which would mean, after Dark Knight and Man Of Steel… No more Routh or Bale without serious re-negotiations.

This all fits in with the Katie Holmes as Wonder Woman rumors, among others. The question is, who the crap are they going to fight and what is the budget going to be on this movie? I’m trying to list the times comic movies have gone ensemble and won? Uh none, that’s right folks none. It just doesn’t out for anyone in those movies. It’s a way to dump second tier heroes into the market and make me suffer.

I’m pretty sure this is going to end up a marketing rape situation. They’ll dump this on the market. I’ll eat JLA lays, cereal, drink JLA pepsi, and puke them all up during their atrocious movie.
